Last year during the big bee hive collaspe issue, I bought an orchard mason bee setup for about 75 bucks. I installed it right before I starting planting my yard with a ton of edibles. Well, I never saw those suckers again after they came out of dormancy. I noticed this winter that the tubes I left on their wood block were full again. They build little mud tubes in the winter. I just went outside and my loquat and lemon trees were absolutely covered in them. I think I started with 30-40 bees but I must have hundreds of them now. The great thing is that they are solitary bees so they dont have a hive. They arent destructive and they prefer to flee than sting since they dont have a hive to protect. I thought I had just thrown away my money up until now. I am very happy!!!!
